Tomorrow Goodwill here is having a half off everything sale. I'm going to scout for wool. Wish me luck.

BTW, often tags are missing with fiber content. Any suggestions as to how to tell if it's wool, short of burning a thread as they would probably object to that.

Feeling it generally work for me. You could rub it on your cheek. Or you could wet it and sniff it for the distinctive wet wool smell. Good luck!

I'll go home and wet my wool and sniff it. Then sneak in my little spray bottle tomorrow, or maybe just spit.

OK, it's Friday and I'm silly.

I didn't tell you to spit. I take no responsibility for your actions at Goodwill.

well, when she said "wet it" i thought of something worse!

wet wool smells kind of like a wet dog. KIND of. I'd like to say like a wet sheep but how many of you have hugged a sheep?
yum.. lanolin.

Or I could just go stick it in the water fountain. I'd have to wash it anyway, so take a little soap with me.

seriously, in my forays into goodwill stores looking for wool, unless i absolutely fall in love with a particular sweater, I just go by the label.

if i really like it, I don't care what it's made of. But by looking for labels you can come up with a lot of nice wool.

If you like wool shirts, spend some time in the men's section. And men's wool trousers make good winter hiking pants. Though it can take some looking to find things small enough for most women.

And don't forget the ultimate wool-cozy item, right where you need it most on those winter rides -- an Activa wool bra!
I kid you not! Itchless, warm (and suprisingly enough also cool in summer), wicking, and with support like a sports bra. Sadly, I only have one, but as soon as my source restocks, I'm getting more.

Yep, that's what I do. Today I'm wearing my $6 banana republic charcoal colored merino wool sweater. Yeah baby.

Today I am wearing my $2.99 black merino ribbed turtleneck from the Salvation Army, with the "stylish" 3/4 sleeves (don't tell anyone they are actually just SHRUNK!) I love this sweater! That was my all-time greatest buy I think. (Except for the depression era Japan iridescent tea set I got there once for $5, with teapot, sugar, creamer and 4 cups and saucers, in pale blue and apricot! )
